Hi Monte....LOL, getting the image at 149.9 kb :)
For my taste it is a bit bright and the bg is cut in half across the bird. I know we
sometimes are lucky to get the shot, but the divided bg here is awkward in the comp.
nice pose
Sharp, agree with Dave above, plus oversaturated plus less than ideal wing position. Wings full down would have been great here. later and love, artie
Can only add soft light would have been the key !!! You did get a nice sun angle on the duck !!!! Also the two tone bg work bes with smooth transitions between the colors !!!
sharp take. u've 'frozen' the action well. but i agree with dave on background...
rgds,

Hi Monte - Good to see you here. I desaturated a bit to cut back the yellow in the BG. If one was so inclined, the background could be 'photoshop'd' out and replaced with something else.
Thx for comments, and desaturation is improvement.
